ActiveView Control
The ActiveView Control, pbdctrl.ocx, is an ActiveX control. An
ActiveX control has a filename ending in .ocx.. It enables Display
Documents to be viewed inside ActiveX containers, including Web
browsers. The FactoryTalk Historian ActiveView Control relies on an
ActiveX server for much of its functionality. The FactoryTalk Historian
ActiveView executable, acview.exe, provides this support. The control
is marked Safe for Initialization.
The control is embedded in Web pages using the OBJECT tag in an HTML
document.
The ActiveView Control provides a read-write property (DisplayURL
(page 62)) that points to a Display Document (.pdi file) for viewing. The
control provides a read-only property (Display) that permits access to the
Display Object's automation interface so that you can manipulate the
display from browser scripts.
